New Ads: New Lupe Fiasco- "Around My Way" and Mercury Rev- "Snowflake in a Hot World"

Cribbed straight from KCRW today: Two new additions to the playlist: From 2008 Mercury Rev "Snowflake in a Hot World" and new from Lupe Fiasco "Around My Way". I published the Youtube video for "Around My Way" with the lyrics because they are totally kick-ass as a stand alone piece or rapped to music. It is hard to deliver something this hard-hitting in such a smooth way. This seems like a lyric that should be delivered with more angst-but the cool, smooth delivery actually adds to the punch-like a simple statement of irrefutable fact does....Cheers! C.
